Taylor Swift Is Already A Kennedy, Says A Kennedy

Taylor Swift has ALREADY been accepted as a member of the Kennedy family … so says former U.S. Representative Patrick Kennedy … who tells TMZ the family is THRILLED she’s dating Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s son.

TMZ was out in Charlotte, North Carolina yesterday when we ran into Rep. Kennedy … and asked him how he felt about 18-year-old Conor Kennedy’s blossoming relationship with the 22-year-old singer.

“We love Taylor Swift … she’s been a great friend and we’re happy for Conor.”

Kennedy continued, “If she wants to be in the family, she’s already a part of it.”

Taylor and Conor have been virtually inseparable for the past couple of months … with Taylor even accompanying Kennedy to visit his mother’s grave after she passed away back in May.

I’m so glad that Patrick here said this about Tay Tay! For one, it means that at least a few members of the Kennedy family still like her, which means that she still has a very good shot of fulfilling her lifelong dream of creeping and stalking her way into the Kennedy family. And for two, it means that Taylor has a really, really great quote to put in her Kennedy scrapbook, and this will also give her an extra reason to smile when she spends all her spare time doodling hearts and more different hearts and practices different ways of writing “Mrs. Taylor Kennedy.” Everybody wins!
